Sloan Prize

Phillip R. Sloan Prize

Phillip Sloan is a Reilly Faculty Fellow, and an emeritus Professor in the History and Philosophy of Science Ph.D. program, the Department of History, and the Program in Liberal Studies. He served as Director of the Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Values from 1997-1999, an important period in its history, overseeing significant growth in programs and activities. He also served as Director of the Ph.D. program in the History and Philosophy of Science from 1994-1997, and has been a leader and supporter of the undergraduate minor in Science, Technology, and Values, a program that continues to reflect his vision for and commitment to undergraduate education.

In honor of this extraordinary exemplar of all that the Reilly Center does and stands for, the Center has established the Phillip R. Sloan Prize. A $500 prize will be awarded annually to one graduate student who embodies Prof. Sloan's commitment to scholarship and (as of 2015) to one undergraduate student who in some special way embodies the mission and core values of the Reilly Center.
